If everyone had parents like that, loving, respectful.

For anyone out there who is struggling with severe depression and/or anxiety, I want to say there is hope. I attempted suicide twice but that's not the end of my story. After my suicide attempts I was able to find healing through a combination of meds, counseling and a coping skills class called DBT (dialectical behavior therapy). This is what worked for me after a 20 year struggle that started in my late teens. Never ever be too proud to ask for help. It is possible to find peace.

Wow. That has to be the worst interview I've ever seen. I'm so sorry you had to sit through that, Anna. Your mother is a hero. You deserved a better host.

"What was it like growing up without your mother?" You asked that question 20 minutes into the interview? It felt awkward. A question like that should have come a lot sooner.

I wish you had been more prepared for this interview. You are terrible. The "uh, um, was it?" You're studding and stumbling. This is Amy Sweenys' daughter. You should have prepared yourself. You really suck at interviews. Don't respond to my comment.

I see water i see buildings i see buildings were flying low were flying very very low were flying way to low oh my god were flying way to low on my god...amy sweeney last words while on the phone with 911 dispatchers as flight 11 crash in to the north tower at 8.46am on september 11 2001

Shes HOME now

He’s a very talented singer! September told me is one of my favorite songs right now

Hospitals were useless or worse; DBT did not help my sensory issues.

My heart breaks for these parents. My son suffered with depression for most of his life,I know how much time it takes away from the other kids. And yes as parents you would walk on hot coals for them if it would help them feeling like that,all your energy goes into loving them and trying out different therapies/drs/looking for anyone that would help. And I agree that it takes a toll on your marriage,your health and even financially,but you can’t make them live against the demons they are struggling with. The interviewer is so emphatic and sensitive. 💔💔💔😭😭😭😭

Thank you all for sharing your son's story. We all go through extreme heartache in a different way. In my life, I have come to realize that no one is exempted. BUT the pain is real and individual.

Do you (or anyone) know how Amy’s parents (Anna’s grandparents) dealt with her death? It would have been interesting to hear (I had this random thought after stumbling by chance on the Find A Grave page of Amy’s father).

As a parent I'm so sorry for their loss, They did everything right, there are so many pressures for young people, depression and anxiety are difficult to deal with.

I hope these parents find peace. That one day, they will be able to stop all the what if the blame ect and just accept the fact that their daughter committed suicide and unless you have been suicidal or attempted suicide will not undestand. If you call a suicide hotline, they tell you that they can't do anything until the person has or is hurting themselves. Why? Because there is no "suicide pervention" I feel for these parents, but unfortunately, as someone who has been suicidal, there's nothing anyone can do. The maddness and thought process is unexplainable, and the help only comes when there's been a failed attempt. Again, I hope these parents have found peace.

If its marijuana psychosis its gotta be the ish they put in that or its delta8 or 9 i dont trust that stuff or the new gmo stuff

Deep and meaning interview. I can't emphasize that enough. I'm grieving alone with the occasional checkup call or text.

😢😢😢

This whole story just makes my stomach turn. I've lived through way too much of it myself. To be treated with anything less than compassion when you are suffering from severe mental health issues is pushing the person closer to the edge. I have been kicked out of FOUR churches because I have complex PTSD and the church staff are TOTALLY IGNORANT and treat me like I'm a 13 year old acting out. I'm 68 and have been abused by three churches in two states. Complex PTSD is cumulative and the stigma by church leaders, pastors who refuse to pray with you (Sugar Grove, Goshen, IN) rather than read two articles you plead with them to read (one on PTSD in the Church and one on Shunning in the Church) makes things SO MUCH WORSE . One pastor "skimmed" the articles and then sat in a meeting and told me that I was a liar ("you believe what you want to believe" - which was absolutely NOT TRUE), An elder stood up and told me I was unstable like it was an ACCUSATION - not an observation that they cared about I was condemned and treated with such cruelty that it pushed me closer and closer to ending my life. The only reason I didn't is that I am 68 years old, not exactly an impulsive person and I have a strong belief that God would not be honored by my doing that NONE OF THOSE THINGS lessen the pain AT ALL - yet the church just keeps adding more and more and more. They trespass me, remove me from all church directories and media sites, REFUSE to talk with me and condemn me to the point where I don't even feel human. THEN - one especially bad day - after refusing to pray with me - they call the cops. I've had a lot of contact with law enforcement over the 8 years since the stroke that started all this. Some of them are truly caring, and I am SOOOOO grateful for the ones like that who I had contact with. But they are in the minority, and this particular day, the sheriff's deputy who drove me to the hospital was cold, uncommunicative. He was doing his job. That was it. And a psychiatric hospital or unit is one SMALL step removed from being in jail. In some ways, it's worse. I've never been in jail, but I know people who have been in both and some of them have said that a psych ward is clearly worse. Why would anyone choose to work on a psych ward if they don't care about their patients? The absolute humiliation of being strip searched, and denied any personal freedom or dignity at ALL made me SO MUCH WORSE. I had done NOTHING wrong. If I was a teenager who was swearing and kicking and screaming, I could understand the need for some of those measures, but when a retired woman comes in who has endured 8 years of trauma and humiliation, and is treated like a criminal, it does NOTHING to help and a LOT to make things worse, Then there is the whole topic of believability. If I lie to you and you can prove it, you are free to call me on it. But if I have a horrible story that is TRUE and you don't WANT to believe it, don't tell me "I think you believe what you want to believe". If I'm not trusted, if my story isn't believed (the doctor's notes called it a convoluted story - which is absolutely true, but that doesn't negate the truth of it), then how do you think you are going to help me in any way??? If you don't care, if you can't express kindness, if you are harsh and judgmental and you work in a church or in a psych facility - GET OUT!!!!!! You don't belong there. You are DRIVING people to suicide. I'm not kidding. That is exactly what you're doing. The way Meghan was treated has me in tears. I relate to too much of it. And I, too, was pushed into greater despair because I had no one who really cared. Certainly not that doctor. I graduated magna cum laude in college and he wrote that I was "of average intelligence with poor insight" He could not have been more wrong. My story IS hard to believe but it is also MY STORY and to question the truthfulness of what I've been through is to make me not want to live another day. I WILL commit suicide (not attempt it) before I ever walk into Sugar Grove Church or any psychiatric inpatient facility again, NEVER NEVER NEVER will I subject myself to the humiliation and accusations I've endured.

This made me cry the first few minutes. She is such a beautiful young lady, and her Mom would be so proud!!! She was so young when it happened. God bless this beautiful young woman, and her family!!! She has such courage to share her, her Mom, and family’s story!!!

Horrible host

Thank you for this video. Sending love to these incredible parents❤ lost my brother one year ago.

I had a friend in middle school who I really clicked with and could relate to better than other people help me out a bunch with some struggles I kept reaching. They really put themselves out there to push me, and in the end, it worked - 20 years later, and those struggles are just a quick talking point on my doctors checkup checklist. However, it seemed to take a lot out of her when she did push me, though I wasn’t perceptive enough at the time to realize it. Unfortunately, it was too little too late when I did realize it… she’d already caught the bus, so to speak. It wasn’t until years later, when watching Good Will Hunting, when it finally crystallized and hit me like a bag of bricks. I was watching the scene in the latter half of the movie where Will and Sean (the therapist) were meeting: “It’s not your fault. It’s not your fault. No Will, you’re not listening to me - it’s not your fault” I didn’t even realize at the time that tears were streaming; it was my roomie at the time who asked if I was ok.

This is tragic. A very sad ending to a beautiful soul.

Bullies need to be held accountable BY DOING TIME IN JAIL and restitution or whatever it takes to rectify the situation if that is possible. SOOO Very Sorry For Your Loss. She's LOVING where's she's at now and the happiest she's been. That's the only thing that gives me solace.

Great Interview.

Did Meg o.d. ?

How many overweight women were not hired as flight attendants back then? Might have saved their lives. Same for minority women.

I wanted to work on a high floor in one of the towers for a Wall Street firm as a secretary, but they didn't hire men! Guess I was lucky #metoo was a thing back then.

It must have been so hard for Anna, losing a parent at a young age and in such a public way. Trying to hold onto personal and private memories of her Mom so that she has something just for herself. I don't know if it is much comfort for her to know that complete strangers still think of her Mom but we do. As a member of a flight crew, she was a brave first responder on that day. But nothing can make up for losing one of the most important people in your life so early and for that, I'm so sorry.

The therapist asks a pt that to ACTUALLY relive the events. The more we you do that and talk about it after a while it will wear out. The affect attached to the memories will start to fade. Kind of like playing your favorite song over and over again. After a while the song gets thrown where all the other songs are. It’s called “Working it Through “

I'm sorry for your loss. Thank you so much for finding a way to share your story with us. I have friends and at times one of my children has struggled with depression and it really helps me to hear the knowledge you have to share. Sending love and prayers.

Thank you for this interview, very interesting and well done. You are so respectful and it truly feels like a celebration of Pat's life as well as a conversation about mental illness. Thank you for doing this! ✨

Beautiful interview!! 💕

weed can make schitzophrenia start did that happen here or

I just lost my daughter to suicide. I'm at rock bottom and can't see how this is going to get any better. I'm hateful and hard towards myself, as her Mom.

Thank you so much for being open about your experiences. How incredibly hard this must by to talk about it all. You are so brave. I am so sorry this happened to your daughter, to you and to your family.

The parents are delusional. Their daughter was an adult. The security guard did the correct thing, he did not have the right to call the parents of an adult, for privacy reasons. And he was trying to protect their daughter. He saw evidence of self-harm, so he wanted to detain the young woman, for her own protection. Perhaps he should have taken her to the hospital, and not have given her a choice of jail. But the choice of jail at least gave her an opportunity to sober up (he probably deduced that she had also been drinking), and allowed her to bet in touch with her own counselor, the next day.

I am so so sorry. Your daughter was/is a beautiful girl! You two are amazing parents!! I do hope that bully boy gets karma! I hope he reflects on his actions and repents and really fully feels the pain he has caused . God bless you both and prayers of comfort your families way🙏♥️🙏♥️

Work on your speaking skills

Thank you . The expression of holding sadness, love, emptiness, joyful memory, pain, richness and the sacredness of being all together, all at once is a very good description of how complex the experience is. The best telling of this grief and that it is ok to laugh and remember the spirit and love and forever that aching of your heart.

Thank you for sharing your story. When I heard towards the end of the podcast about Meg using cannabis, I realized that that's a very important piece of the story. Many teens these days are getting severe anxiety and depression from using today's cannabis. The brain's neuroreceptors become severely impacted by it, initiating many mental and physical problems. Parents (including me) have no idea how dangerous it is until they see the devastating impacts occurring with their child. The excellent organization Johnny's Ambassadors is working hard to get the word out about just how dangerous cannabis is to developing brains. It's a huge and growing problem that's wiping kids out.

My heart breaks for these parents & anyone that has to endure such a tragedy. Anyone who doesn’t shed a tear listening to this isn’t human. This is every parent’s greatest fear including mine. Thank you for sharing such a tragic experience. Sorry for your loss & prayers for you & your family 🙏🏻

I gave up on therapists. I even thought about being an “anti-therapist”… there are good ones, I’ve heard, but not enough. She’s so lucky she had you guys. I’m so so sorry for your loss. I pray you find a way to cope. May she rest in peace.🙏

Most? Well that’s not a generalization. 🙄

I think the culture of college can be so so so toxic. I think parents (I am a parent of a 17 year old) need to acknowledge that college maybe isn’t the number one option for kids with mental health issues or learning challenges, etc. A lot of teens are not ready to make the leap to adulthood and be able to regulate enough to handle adult responsibilities. Some kids need much more time. I wish there wasn’t a stigma about going to community college or a trade school or just simply getting a simple job. Sororities are so so toxic. ❤ My son is not going to college but getting his EMT certification and staying with us until he is ready to go. ❤

Um um ah ah ah um um im um prepare yourself , you know you know , do not do on interviews especially , this lovely couple lost their daughter , your introduction was si uncomfortable , please please prepare

As mom said, mental health is treatable. They are right on target Parents, please know you did everything right. Sometimes you cant change what will happen. Also, what they said about basically ignoring their other kids while they took care of Meghan is so relatable. My son had severe ADHD and Tourettes Syndrome. Lots of behavior issues and impulse control issues. Then, at 18 he became a quadriplegic. I lost him at 25. Both his injury and death were brought about by bad decisions. This was so hard on my other kids. I ignored my other kids, not intentionally, but you can only do so many things at once, and my son needed me more. Tough decisions.
